Why a Russian card is declined
Russian bank cards cannot pay for Dotabuff. Visa and Mastercard cards from Russian banks have not worked abroad since 2022, and Mir cards are rarely accepted outside Russia, so the payment is declined.
A P2D card is issued abroad in dollars, so it works in services that accept Mastercard.
